begin anew
So its the first day of 2005. Woke up at like 5. realized I had REALLY signed up for overtime to go to work. on new years. man what a mistake on my part. that sucks. there are like a bajillion calls in queue for me to answer. and what happens 12 minutes in to my shift of overtime?
A DROPPED CALL> yay. gonna ride this out as long as I can.
so hows everyones new year going so far? dont party too hard. I cant. starting to do randoms at work. which isnt any of their business. 5 years in operation and JUST NOW starting to do random testing. probably b/c of that new applebees thats in construction in the middle of the fucking parking lot. what craziness is that? building something in the middle of a parking lot that doesnt have enough room to drivein to begin with. surprised no accidental deaths have happened, the way people are driving now. but the random thing, that sucks. right when you come across something you are beginning to enjoy on a regular basis, its ripped from you b/c of fear of job security. what shit is that.????
and on top of that...what about that tsunami? that is crazy. all these different little things happening all over the world over the past year or so. jared and I were talking about it the other night. different earthquakes on the smaller scale in different areas of the world. mount st helens threatening to erupt again. one of the worst hurricane seasons. bush was reelected. and now this tsunami has ripped another hole through fragile rift of security that the asiatic people have with our tourism. bodies floating in the indian ocean. houses knocked down. people in the trees. ITS CRAZY. an update to the death toll is 123,000 people. thats ONE HUNDRES AND TWENTY THREE THOUSAND people dead. its such a tragedy, but it wasnt preventable. the world is forever changed. three (some sort of measured seconds in time) have been added to the end of the year for each person, as this 9.0 mag registered quake and giant wave changed a way of life forever in a part of the world. it was felt in africa. thats INSANE. and an outbreak (which is predicted to happen any moment now, and hasnt thankfully) is expected at any moment. but one can only guess what may happen. its something that you can say "wow, glad i wasnt over there" b/c you cant say one way or another if we could have prevented this or not. maybe something triggered from all this shit were putting the earth through caused it. or maybe it was something that was on the way for some time now.
and im here bitching about work. guess we all have our own problems.
and this past week was sort of disappointing. I was up for 2 different jobs. a manager position where i work, which gave me great experience in an interview (heh but i STILL DIDNT GET THE JOB) so im not complaining that i didnt get the job. it helped me not be as nervous when im up for a job interview. the day after i had another interview for another position at work that would keep me off the phones and take me from the project. during the interview, the person conducting the aforementioned event had a case of vertigo, taking her medication and having to lay down. so theres me, nervous, and the person who is interviewing me for a position nearly passes out. so i do what anyone would do, . near the end, i was prompted for another position that I was already trained for. it was cool, and again i stress the importance that hey, i now have interview experience. so kudos to that, in the future i wont be nearly as nervous. im happy i was at least considered.
so back to work. still have 100 calls in queue and im still on the call that was dropped several minutes in to my shift. gonna ride this shit out. dont know what i was thinking when i signed up for overtime.
oh yeah, money.
hmm, so i picked up the new alicia keys album (not really new anymore, just recent) and am hooked on the song karma. she has such a soothing voice, i enjoy listening to it. i also got new doubts greatest hit single cd from the 90's which i know i love, althought havent opened yet b/c im still working through some video games that i need to beat or beat again.
but anyhow i guess i should get back to work, i did sign up for it...sooo yeah.
hope everyones new year is going well so far. 364 days left till next one comes around. wootah.
